Expressing gratitude to the team of Saiyaara, Ahaan shared few behind the scene photos from the sets and wrote a long note.

Ahaan Panday, actress Ananya Panday's cousin, is all set to make his debut with Mohit Suri's Saiyaara alongside Aneet Padda. Ahead of its release on July 18, Ahaan penned an emotional note thanking the director for his debut movie.

Expressing gratitude to the team of Saiyaara, Ahaan shared few behind the scene photos from the sets and wrote a long note. The caption read, "You might’ve met me a year ago, but the truth is, I met you long before that."

Recalling his experience of watching Aashiqui 2, he continued, "I met you through the stereo system in my car, with my grandmother, when we’d go pick up cassettes of every one of your films. I met you in the cinema hall, watching Aashiqui 2 with my mother and sister— we cried through the ending and then cried again because we had to translate every dialogue for my mother."

"I met you in the dubsmashes I made to your music. I met you in my moments of pain and in my moments of love. Mohit Suri, you defined my childhood in ways you couldn’t imagine. And maybe somewhere, in some universe, my grandmother is buying a cassette of Saiyaara today. Thank you, Vik sir. You envisioned my mother’s campaign all those years ago—making her look good was easy, making me look even half as decent probably took more effort, but somehow you managed," his post further read.

Before concluding, Ahaan thanked Mohit Suri and wrote, "To Mohit Suri—the man who brought feeling back into my life… and gave me my dream - aaj, kal aur forever, bas tum hi ho."

Saiyaara portrays the intense journey of two passionate lovers as they navigate a whirlwind romance—soaring through moments of bliss and grappling with heartbreaking lows—while fiercely holding onto their stormy relationship.
